.You will need a Bottle of Whisky when You deathride the Roosters on Sunday :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
Whiskey not required. :cool:

1012 with D Young as captain. 45 from Kiraz dropped out with 14 available. New recruits DeBelin and Plath excellent but same cannot be said for Marzhew. Still a better investment after one round than Manu. :ROFLMAO:

If Nanai does not back up then the R goes to Ford. If one of aWalsh/Burton do not back up then an R goes to Brialey. Ideally one of the three players backs up from Origin.

Might be worth a watch on Talagi... Simonsson out long term may give him a place in the backline.
I really hope he grabs that centre/wing spot, his defence is the only thing holding him back atm. Not a great week for me, scored 828, down 400 spots. Looking forward to a bounce-back. Really excited for the upcoming week with footy from Wednesday all the way to Monday 😊

Hey mate. Thoughts on kolo with Murray back soon (think R15)? I was keen but Murray back is making me nervous
Souths fan here - it shouldn't have much of an effect. They will both start and play big minutes. You should be more worried about our sides awful form and the fact that the Eels game was Koloamatangi's first good game after 10 terrible ones to start the season.

Thanks for the response mate. Just seemed kolo playing at 13 gave him heaps of opportunity to take hitups where I think Murray coming back will take a lot of them. Hmm it’s a tricky one. Like their bye coverage though

Horrible round - scored 774 with 12 + Talagi

Dropped 700 spots to 1450 overall. Was expecting a bigger drop.

Hynes > C Walker
Chan > Fifita

50k ITB

Have reasonable coverage this round but likely looking at an AE if Robson doesn’t back up. Have Hughes / Willison sitting outside 17 at the moment so have coverage. Willison may be required to come in if Cotter doesn’t back up.

Nothing really informative from NRL teams with a whole heap of Origin players named amongst the reserves.

Highlights:

- Hynes to be rested
- Talagi replaces Simonsson in Centres for Parramatta.
- Edwards named at 23 for Penrith.

Just a wait and see week to see who backs up.

Edit: Jake Granville dropped from the Cowboys squad (injured) with Sam McIntyre named at Hooker with Robson in the reserves. Makes me fairly confident Robson backs up with no recognised Hooker named in the 17.

Unsure if a strong correlation exists with Murray either positively or negatively affecting Kolo.

Main reason he is under consideration is that I was hoping to trade Talagi to a Storm player in the expectation that he received brief minutes last round and thus a low score. Given he did not play, I have held which now means Strange has been traded and unfortunately fall a few grand short of Hughes. The base and lack of attacking stats (covered in below snippet) coupled with the bye coverage is why I am heavily considering this round. Fainu (WST), E Aitken and E Katoa also look like great options if you want players that are available for RD16 and RD19 bye rounds.

Keaon Koloamatangi moved to the middle and played 80 minutes against the Eels, bursting through for two tries and 133 points with 61 points in base.
He’s $584k with a breakeven of -1 this week.
Prior to that outing, he had just one score over 55 in 10 games.
The move to the middle could prove magical for Supercoaches, but it does feel like a case of chasing last week’s points.
The one factor that does bode well is his strong 49 in base across the season, it’s his lack of attacking stats that are mesmerising.
In 10 games prior to the Eels, he had no tries, no try-assists, one linebreak and one linebreak assist.
We know he’s capable of finding the line and setting up tries, so surely there’s more to come?

View attachment 73894 View attachment 73896 Any recommended trades -?

short of 17 at the moment. 397k itb 24 trades left
Mikaele to S Fainu (Tigers) and Smithies (via Plath and Brown) to J Hughes (Storm). Iro and Wishart as two reserves and ideally Grant and Holmes back up from Origin for 17. S Hughes as coverage on the bench if one Origin player does not back up. Hynes can be dealt with next round and could be traded to a 2RF premium (eg Fifita) by moving Wishart up to Hynes spot and Plath back to 5/8.

N Hynes and Cartwright/Fifita/etc to J Hughes and D Fifita could also be an option.
